Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter PAYING THE DEBT IN GOODS The argument is made that we must make our purchases in Europe in order to furnish the European peoples money with which to pay their debts to the United States. In other words, having made to European nations the loans necessary to their success in the world war, we must close the factories of the United States in order to enable these countries to pay us back. That is good doctrine from the standpoint of the international bankers and the importers, but it isn't good American doctrine, no matter who utters it. Germany was depressed economically and France was enriched through the payment, in manufactured goods, of the indemnity upon France at the close of the Franco-Prussian war. This was the unexpected result of a penalty laid upon a defeated nation. We cannot afford to paralyze American industry in order to help those who hold European securities collect their money quickly. They can afford to wait on their creditors better than the American wage earner can afford to wait for an opportunity to make a living. The flooding of the markets of the United States with foreign products during the next few years means business is a blend of cream cheese and currant or guava jelly, using two or three tablespoonfuls of jelly to a small cheese. Pimento cheese and thinly sliced tomatoes on rye bread. Pineapple goes well with cream cheese. Chop the pineapple fine, drain off the juice, add a little salt, paprika and lemon juice, cut thin slices of whole wheat or white bread, spread thinly, press together. Rye bread and sardine sandwiches: Chop and mix together one box boned sardines, a hard boiled egg, two chopped pickles, the juice of a lemon, or vinegar, to taste, with salt and pepper to season. Cut slices of rye bread, butter, spread the sardine and egg mixture between the slices. Bacon and egg sandwiches: Fry the bacon until crisp, break into bits. Mix with yolks of hard-boiled eggs worked into a paste with a little butter, add teaspoon chopped parsley spread on white bread. Mix one-half cup dry grated cheese and three tablespoons chili sauce and spread between sliced white bread. A LOUD VOICE A man's voice can be made as loud as the cannon's roar; it can be heard two or twenty miles. The ticking of a watch can be amplified until it sounds like the breakers on an ocean cliff. "It's no trick at all to magnify sound 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 times, or indefinitely," says Tom Lambert, a wireless telephone engineer. "All that is needful is to connect a number of vacuum valves in multiple with a wireless receiving set and the thing is done. At the first receiving contact a voice will be normal.

We cannot afford to paralyze American industry in order to help those who hold European securities collect their money quickly. They can afford to wait on their creditors better than the American wage earner can afford to wait for an opportunity to make a living. The flooding of the markets of the United States with foreign products during the next few years means business paralysis in the United States, and if anybody has to be paralyzed industrially let it be some country other than the United States. POLITICAL POINTERS Postmaster General Burleson says he expects some anarchist to send him a bomb. Well, if he malls it, the chances are it won't get to Washington before there is a new Postmaster General, so why worry? Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, says that the 1896 platform of the Democratic party has been enacted into law. Well, we have a fifty-cent dollar, all right. Well, now that Sergeant York has had the required advance publicity, he is to be a movie star. The picture is to be entitled "The Divine Call," a title doubtless suggested by one of President Wilson's explanations of why the American soldiers licked hell out of the Huns. Instead of attacking Senators Lodge and Borah for discovering the existence in New York of copies of the full text of the open covenant openly arrived at, secreted from the rest of the country, the New York World ought to try its best to get a couple of reporters as good as these who would prevent such a humiliating scoop being perpetrated on an administration newspaper. Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, says: "If the people of Arkansas don't vote for the league two to one, or more, I'll retire from the Senate." The Senator is on safe ground. Arkansas is one of those states that will vote two to one for polygamy, grand larceny or any other old thing the Democratic party declares for, and the vote in the state will be whatever the Democratic politicians in the state want to make it two or twenty miles. The ticking of a watch can be amplified until it sounds like the breakers on an ocean cliff. "It's no trick at all to magnify sound 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 times, or indefinitely," says Tom Lambert, a wireless telephone engineer. "All that is needful is to connect a number of vacuum valves in multiple with a wireless receiving set and the thing is done. At the first receiving contact a voice will be normal. Cut in one vacuum valve and it is raised seven times; thereafter it squares itself—seven times seven to forty-nine for the next vacuum valve, and forty-nine times forty-nine for the next, and so on. "I mean volume of sound, not power of transmission," explains Lambert. "In a test recently a phonograph was connected with an amplifier at mid-night, and we were lifting it up gradually to supply all San Francisco with song and amusement, when the police urged us to desist. "In the stadium at Golden Gate park the ticking of a watch was made audible all over the grandstand, while an athletic meet was in progress. Capt. Robert W. A. Brewer, an experimenter, moved off 2,000 feet and spoke quietly to his dog and the dog couldn't be held. A wireless station which I am not permitted to name recently received a telephone message from Europe, and through its amplifier startled duck hunters in the marshes eight miles away." For practical purposes the vacuum valve has its use, as in warships, where the wireless telephone speaks its message through a horn to several officers, instead of one using earpieces. It can be availed of to address audiences. Every airplane possessed by Uncle Sam and all United States warships are equipped with wireless telephone apparatus. These sets on warships are efficient at least twenty miles. TAKING MEASURES TO RESTORE CITIZENSHIP Making it Easy for Americans who Fought with Canadians to Come Back. Steps to remedy as speedily as possible the technical loss of citizenship that has arisen because of the impetuous valor of many thousands of American boys have been recently taken by Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, says: "If the people of Arkansas don't vote for the league two to one, or more, I'll retire from the Senate." The Senator is on safe ground. Arkansas is one of those states that will vote two to one for polygamy, grand larceny or any other old thing the Democratic party declares for, and the vote in the state will be whatever the Democratic politicians in the state want to make it. PRAIRIE SANDWICHES These are the days of picnics and informal little gatherings when suggestions for new sandwiches will be welcomed by the hostess. Among the offerings, some of them for dainty sandwiches suited to the afternoon teas, others of heartier ingredients suitable for the picnic lunch after the swimming party or long motor trip, are these: Cucumbers, sliced thin with mayonnaise dressing and English walnuts chopped fine. Sardines made into a paste, spread on white bread and dotted with tiny bits of lemon and cucumber. Slices of brown bread spread with orange or grapefruit marmalade through which is chopped candied ginger. Seeded raisins and walnuts chopped together mixed with whipped cream or the white of an egg beaten and seasoned with salt. Spread between slices of bread cut very thin. (These should not be prepared long before they are to be eaten.) Chopped ripe olives and cream cheese. Cream cheese in any one of the half hundred combinations goes equally well with either white, brown or whole wheat bread. A very dainty combination. TAKING MEASURES TO RESTORE CITIZENSHIP Making it Easy for Americans who Fought with Canadians to Come Back. Steps to remedy as speedily as possible the technical loss of citizenship that has arisen because of the impetuous valor of many thousands of American boys have been recently taken by the Bureau of Naturalization of the Department of Labor. As soon as England entered the world war hosts of American boys were eager to fight the lions by the side of those nations who championed the democracy of the world. They flocked "over the border" to volunteer in the Canadian companies or sailed across the seas to enlist directly in the armies of the French or the English. Then came an order from the United States to the effect that no United States troops should go to France. In order to be allowed to fight for the just cause they must, technically at least, forfeit their citizenship in this county. As a result of this order 9,000, it is said, became Canadians over night! They won the battle, but they became men without a country! While the battle was on, little did they care whether they were formally American citizens or not. The brotherhood of arms was a satisfying one. But, with the signing of the armistice, the thought of home asserted itself. Protests from the boys themselves and from their relatives and friends against this unjust loss of citizenship poured back to the home country. On May 9, 1918, congress attempted to remedy the intolerable condition by amending subdivision 12 of section 4 of the act of June 29, 1906, as follows: "That any person who, while a citi- ANAHEIM GAZETTE Death Suddenly Calls Father and Son (Continued from page 1) written by Hunter, which was to have been opened after his death, setting forth the fact that he feared an attempt against his life. Mr. Cole arrived at Anaheim on Monday afternoon and was in consultation with Dr. Telfer, Dr. Truxaw and others. Contents of the letter were not revealed, but it is said that no reference to a poison plot was contained therein. Whether threats against Hunter's life had been made was uncertain, and nothing would be given out concerning the contents of the letter, as Long Beach police authorities are working on the case. It is said that Hunter was preparing to leave Long Beach, and that his trip to Elsinore was for the purpose of finding a new location there. He is said to have given his wife directions as to what her course should be should any untoward incident befall him. The case is one of the strangest ever reported to the authorities of Orange county. Hunter is known to have been a sufferer with uremic poisoning. On his arrival here he was taken with illness and went to a drug store to procure medicine. He joined his wife and son at breakfast, but was taken with nausea and later obtained a room at the Central hotel and went to bed. Nothing serious was considered' of his case, and he seemed to be improving until Friday afternoon, when he lapsed into unconsciousness. His little son was taken ill on Saturday morning with nausea, and at 10 o'clock became insane. MORE POWER GIVEN TO COUNTY BOARDS Several Laws Enacted Enlarging the Duties of Supervisors. The California Taxpayer's Journal says that the powers of the boards of supervisors of the various counties were considerably enlarged by the legislation of the last session. Assembly bill 860 empowers supervisors to levy a tax of not exceeding two-tenths of a mill per dollar on the assessed value of the county for the purpose of creating a fund for the relief of the needy blind and to transfer sufficient money from the poor fund for the year 1919 to carry out the purpose of the act. By assembly bill 584 they were authorized to grant financial relief and burial expenses to indigent persons who have been honorably discharged from the army and navy and American Red Cross, or their families, through organizations created for that purpose filing proper statements. This fact also is applicable to municipalities. Supervisors are empowered to contract with cities and towns for the performance of public health work by the county health department, by the provisions of assembly bill 234. Assembly bill 638 authorized them to employ public health nurses in time of epidemics or emergencies, and determine their compensation. Assembly bill 845 amends the present powers of the supervisors to permit the construction of art institutes and stadiums and authorizes the levy of a tax of 5 cents on one hundred dollars for comfort stations. This bill also allows all expenses of supervisors in attending state meetings. The formation of sanitary districts Proper forms were prepared which would enable American consuls in foreign countries to arrange the process so as to cause as little inconvenience and delay as possible. Thirty-five thousand of these forms were printed and sent to the state department to distribute to the consuls. At the same time the widest possible publicity has been given to the matter so no soldier may neglect the opportunity through ignorance. The bureau of naturalization is determined that these boys shall have their citizenship restored at as early a date as possible; since just such citizens are needed in the reconstruction period. The intention is that, when the transport brings them to their homeland, their first step on American soil may be, as it should be, as citizens of the United States. Citrus packing houses are going to take a vacation of several weeks in order to permit the demand for oranges in the eastern markets to catch up with the supply. In Anaheim more than three hundred employees will take a rest during the vacation period. Brick masons have begun work on the Theodore Roberts block at the corner of Center and Lemon streets. The walls of the brick garage which will form an extension of the building on Lemon, are almost completed. Shelter Your Future With a Savings Account With a Savings Account Save now for a rainy day.

County horticultural commissioners are vested with complete jurisdiction over the transportation of grape vines affected with phylloxera, with power to inspect, disinfect or prescribe other treatment, by assembly bill 1009. The legislature passed senate bill 313 making an appropriation for state aid to cities and counties for the care of tubercular patients at the rate of ports, to be paid from the general fund. The legislature provided an appropriation, senate bill 556, for the support of the state farm advisers, which the governor approved. Senate bill 554 providing for the deposit of county and municipal moneys in state and national banks, creating active and inactive deposits and providing that surety bonds might be accepted as security for active deposits, was vetoed by the governor. The governor also vetoed a measure requiring the county auditor to submit County horticultural commissioners are vested with complete jurisdiction over the transportation of grape vines affected with phylloxera, with power to inspect, disinfect or prescribe other treatment, by assembly bill 1009. The legislature passed senate bill 313 making an appropriation for state aid to cities and counties for the care of tubercular patients at the rate of $3 per week, and creating a central hospital committee composed of delegates appointed by each county desiring to group themselves together for the purpose of establishing tubercular hospitals, to be under the supervision of the state board of health. Assembly bill 409 was passed by the legislature, creating the office of county squirrel commissioner at a compensation of $5 per diem and an allowance of 10 cents per mile traveled, but the governor vetoed it. A county retirement system for the payment of annuities to county employees was established by assembly bill 609. The act only becomes effective upon a four-fifths vote of the board of supervisors. The system is to be managed by a board of retirement composed of the county treasurer, one member chosen by the supervisors and one member elected by the association provided for by the act. The system is to be under the supervision of the state insurance commissioner, who shall prescribe the tables and determine their application, and the methods of bookkeeping employed. Assembly bill 1029 increases the compensation of county advisory boards for the appraisement of real property from $5 a day to $10 a day and permits the employment of competent persons to compile re- The legislature provided an appropriation, senate bill 556, for the support of the state farm advisers, which the governor approved.

The governor also vetoed a measure requiring the county auditor to submit a monthly statement of expenditures to the supervisors, assembly bill 403. For several hours Tuesday the police had an interesting stray in their possession, but, the owner was found before any serious alarm had been aroused over the loss. For about an hour a two-year-old child had been observed playing on the corner of Olive and Broadway, and finally Miss Lena Seale, who lives in the neighborhood, took charge of the baby and reported the find to the police. Later in the day a little sister of the lost child passed the Seale home and was recognized by the baby, which led to its being taken to its home. The child belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Leonard of South Claudina street, and was supposed by the mother to have been safe during the afternoon at the home of its grandmother. She didn't know it was lost until it was found and brought home. License to marry has been issued to George H. Hanson of Fullerton and Bertha L. Herman of this city. Also to Charles E.
